No offense to Prime Video’snew TV show(we’re looking forward toRings of Power Season 2, honest) or The Hobbit movies, but LOTR on the big screen takes precedence.
They’ve returned to cinemas before but are they coming again? Here’s what’s been confirmed about new theatrical re-releases and what editions will be shown.
When is The Lord of the Rings trilogy returning to theaters?
Fathom Events and Warner Bros. announced that June 8 will kick things off with The Fellowship Of The Ring. It’ll be followed by The Two Towerson June 9, and The Return of the King concludes the trip to Mordor on June 10.
